1. Turku Archipelago E-Bike Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 3 reviews
Summer in Finland, Turku Archipelago and e-bikes. We like! This bike tour starts with a beautiful boat ride from Turku to Nauvo island. Sit back and smell the Baltic Sea breeze. Continue your holiday by cycling from island to island, using ferries along the way. Don’t hurry, distances are not long and there is much to see. After a long and dark winter, nature is fresh and green. Yachting harbours are full of action. These islands really bloom into life in summer time.

This review is long overdue. We took an e-bike tour with Happy E-Bikers when our cruise ship (@celebrityreflection) stopped in Helsinki in August. We had found the website and arranged for the tour before arriving. Setting it up was very easy. Matti was very responsive and made booking a breeze. On the day we were to dock, he contacted me and already knew that there had been a last-minute change of docking location for us. He was waiting by the ship when we disembarked. It was a short walk to his van, where we were able to get the bikes, which were in great shape. We biked a short way to collect some additional tour group members from a different cruise ship, and then Matti led us on a great 4-5 hour bike ride around Helsinki. We biked along many of Helsinki’s islands and over the bridges connecting them and stopped along the way for coffee and a snack. It was a great experience, and we enjoyed it much more than the usual on-the-bus-off-the-bus tours. The bike worked great, and e-bikes are easy to learn to ride and allow you a wonderful outdoor adventure without a great deal of exertion. Matti was a great guide, and we learned a lot about Helsinki. If you are looking for something other than the usual cruise-stop tour, I highly recommend Happy E-Bikers and would definitely do another tour with Matti if I had the chance.

Maria is an excellent and knowledgeable guide Who knows Helsinki well. She gave us a great introduction to the city that was not the cheapest though was one of the best city tours I have been on. She was able to build the tour round what we wanted to see and added in some must see stuff too. The walking and talking was great and the historical information combined with Maria’s insights into current life in Helsinki made this a memorable tour. Thank you Maria.

We spent the full 8hrs and payed the $600. although the tour was detailed and the ride was amazing i really dont see why it costs so much!

Amazing holiday - well planned routes - excellent bikes and equipment. The accommodation was comfortable with saunas and good food. Cycling around the archipelago was simply fantastic and the route information included lots of places we would have missed on our own. Matti was so helpful - arranging the holiday at the last minute for us (during the pandemic) and he also drove us from Helsinki as the train line was out of service on our first day. I highly recommend booking through Happy e-bikers. It's a lovely way to see Finland.

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.
